Popular Underwater Digital Cameras

By Ed J Price

Underwater digital cameras have become an essential part of scuba diving equipment for professional and amateur scuba divers. The underwater world of scuba diving offers so many opportunities to capture once-in-a-lifetime photos of undersea life, vivid colors of coral reefs or a remote shipwreck. With underwater digital cameras it is possible to capture these images in a life-like picture that can be shared with friends or sold professionally.

Popular underwater digital cameras:

The Sea Life Dc800, Canon G10, Sony A200 Digital SLR Camera and the Nikon D3 are just some of the more standard or popular dive cameras available. These digital cameras have been revolutionized to capture clean and crisp pictures that really reflect true images of marine life. These diving cameras can withstand the pressure of many meters underwater.

Advanced Compact Dive Cameras:

One of the most advanced compact cameras for under $500 is the Canon G10 and its Canon housing the WP-DC28. With its high resolution images and an excellent LCD that is large and crisp it is a well rounded underwater digital camera that is richly detailed. With a superb wide-angle lens and lots of dedicated controls for even the most serious photographers it gives great performance. The Canon WP DC28 housing can take the Canon G10 Powershot to depths over 130 feet.

With an auto- focus system the Sony A200 Digital Camera with Ikelite #6841.20 housing is an entry level digital camera that captures enough detail for photo quality prints. With the lowest sensitivities the Sony A200 SLR camera has a large view finder, wireless flash control and good quality photos. With an affordable package this well constructed camera also offers all of the essentials of a good camera. With an Ikelite underwater housing the Sony A200 SLR can give a corrosion-free performance of up to 200 feet.

First grade performance with First Grade Dive Cameras:

With sleek, modern and high tech functionality the SeaLife DC800 is one camera for scuba divers. Colorful pictures can be taken by using the 5 new dive-specific color correction modes. Before taking pictures underwater the camera is set on Sea Mode, this restores lost colors which can be lost when diving under 200 feet. The rubber within the camera acts as a shock protection for the camera. The SeaLife has a quick shutter for fast action shots and long lasting battery for a full day of photography.

The Nikon D3 is a bit expensive than its competitors but it is top of the line digital camera. Together with the Sea MDX-D3 housing it makes for a perfect combination for professional photographers. This camera is popular with professionals because it has an auto focus that is fast and accurate, a huge viewfinder and auto exposure that is dead on perfect. Ergonomically built this camera housing is built so a photographer has one finger on the camera the other finger shooting pictures. The Sea underwater housing and the Nikon D3 together is very impressive.
